Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval bar mount or belt stiffener. The object consists of a single bar terminating in two flat and circular terminals which are pierced and one has a surviving pointed projection. The bar is triangular in section; flattened at the reverse. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and fairly pitted. Bar mounts are dated by Egan and Pritchard roughly to the 13th and 14th centuries based on mentions in contemporary literature and funerary effigies from this period (Egan and Pritchard, p.131-215). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
